These two images from 1980 show the Fred Gurley locomotive parked at the Disneyland Roundhouse. It has been in service at the park since March 28, 1958 but was built back in 1894. It’s the oldest locomotive in operation at the Park.
In September 2011, I was able to capture the Gurley at the Roundhouse again. By this time, it had been converted to burn biodiesel fuel.
A closer view:
Just for the heck of it, here’s a shot of the Roundhouse from June 1969.
Something appears to be parked in there, but I can’t tell what. On the far left you can see one of the signs from the freeway.

Wow, the roundhouse pre-TDA building. Years ago I discovered the original roundhouse was on the NW corner of the park, across from what would now be the Mickey & Friends garage. So far I've never seen any pictures of it. I doubt any exist. Still, very impressive to know this second location has been "the location" for the vast majority of the park's life.
